they’ll be dead one day
this is a valid point.. there are a clutch of artists I missed seeing live, Prince etc..
So seeing Fred Wesley, Herbie Hancock (in their 80s) this year was a blessing fo’sure
I own three solo albums, Amerikkka’s most wanted, Predator and Death Certificate and a couple of EPs.. not sure I need anything else.. still I am glad I saw Ice Cube..

I was there! Enjoyable night on the whole, Cypress Hill may have been better than Ice Cube, for live energy and classics. It dawned on me that my love of Ice Cube is very narrow (Death Certificate and The Predator from my teenage years) so the vast majority of his set was cool, but unknown to me. Great to see the younger crowd singing along to Cube. Audience demographic was fine.
I tend to wrestle with seeing bands from my youth, what's the point? What am I trying to recreate? How can the artist still have a fraction of the passion they had when they wrote the tunes? I should be in a pub / small venue seeing the next big thing. But still I go, and still it's usually a great time. They'll be dead one day.
